"My wife and I stayed here in November 2025 along with another couple. As is noted in other reviews, the pictures don't do the villa justice and it is exactly as advertised. The road in and out (last few miles) is a bit difficult to traverse and renting a 4 wheel drive as suggested by the host is a very good idea. Other than that, the place is absolutely fantastic, including the location generally for touring around Sicily (in particular Palermo, Cefalu and surrounding areas). The villa is exceptional and fully stocked with everything required. Beyond that, the hosts (Paul and David) go above and beyond in every way, including facilitating everything you need for arrival, ensuring your every need is met and providing great recommendations for tour spots, wineries and restaurants (even making reservations). They are both amazing people and joined us a number of evenings for some wine around the outdoor fireplace. They also have a local chef they recommend for in-house dining - chef Bruno and his partner Giovanni and they are absolutely wonderful and the price is extremely reasonable (less than comparable meal at a restaurant) Probably the best meals we had in Italy were with them and we had them cook more than 4 evenings (would have been more but we did tour around a fair amount). Bruno also hosted a cooking class for us and it was brilliant. If you stay here having chef Bruno cook is an absolute must. Overall we can't rate the villa or Paul and David high enough. "

"Everything about the hotel was fabulous"

"El hotel está hermoso, la Alberca, el bar las habitaciones todo muy bonito y moderno. Súper agradable para descansar en la alberca, los camastros super cómodos Todo el personal muy amable No está cerca del centro de Cefalu pero durante el día hasta las 19:00 tiene un shuttle bus que te lleva y te regresa. Feliz regresaría a este hotel. "

"The grounds are amazing. The food was good, with some really great options for breakfast. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was fine, nothing fancy."

"Just want to say that we had the most incredible experience staying at these villas! The property itself was stunning—beautifully maintained, spacious, and surrounded by breathtaking views that made our stay feel truly special.What truly set our time apart was the warmth and care of our hosts Benedetto, Chef Marco and Maria Concetta Moreci. They went above and beyond to organise not only a gorgeous wedding venue and a delicious dinner, but also wonderful entertainment with live singing and a lively disco to round off the evening. The atmosphere was perfect—joyful, relaxed, and unforgettable.Our whole group felt so well looked after, and we could not have asked for a more perfect setting or more thoughtful hosts. Thank you for making our wedding celebration and stay so memorable—we’ll cherish it forever!"

"We would rate this hotel almost excellent, our room was very comfortable and serviced twice a day. The grounds and pool are beautiful, effort towards sustainability is evident. Service was sometimes slow and our drinks orders were incorrect a couple of times but no big deal. We booked a couple of ‘experiences’ the wine tasting was cancelled an hour before start time. The romantic meal was a bit disappointing in our opinion, the space and views were gorgeous but the location meant the food arrived cold, and long gaps between courses. The aperitif in the field was excellent, the views are stunning, could have done with something other than bread and nuts to eat, maybe add cheese and meats?! Overall we loved the resort, staff were friendly and ideal for a couple wanting to spend a few days in a secluded location. "

"Had a terrific holiday at this villa and would highly recommend. We were a party of 11 ages ranging from 12 to 81.We used all 6 bedrooms and there was plenty of room for all of us.Great outside spaces for eating and a fantastic pool and lovely surround for sunbathing.Benedetto was a perfect host, always on hand if needed. We managed without a car , three restaurants and the beach an easy walk away, also a well stocked supermarket.The railway station around 15 mins walk was well used for trips to Cefalu, a lovely seaside town with lots of shops and eateries .Only 8 minutes on the train so easy to pop in for a few hours. The younger ones in our party made full use of the bikes for trips to the beach and shopping. One of the highlights of our stay was having Marco come to us and cook a truly sumptuous 3 course meal, a wonderful experience! We have had a few family holidays and the overall feeling was this was the best one ever! Thankyou Benedetto, we were sad to leave."

"Travelling as two families with 4 adults and 5 children (ages 11 to 17), we enjoyed our holiday at this property, which has great view overlooking the sea from its location in the hills above Cefalu. The villa is about 400 metres above sea level, on the winding mountain road up to the sanctuary at Gibilmanna. This made for a very pleasant climate (noticeably less humid than in Cefalu itself), great views and a calming location, although it does mean that a car is absolutely essential as there are no shops or restaurants closer than a 15 minute drive away. The property itself is made of three separate buildings - a row of 4 bedrooms, with a detached kitchen / living room opposite that, and a separate annex with further beds down some steps, next to the table tennis. There is a nice covered outdoor eating area, an outdoor kitchen, barbecue and wood fired pizza oven on on the same level as the main bedroom suite. The property is on a steep hill, with an off-road parking area above it which is much easier than the tricky access to the front entrance, but is quite a bit of effort when carrying shopping etc. Giovanni was a very helpful and responsive host, assisted by Adzim (apologies for any misspelling!) who emptied bins daily and was generally on hand for any issues. There are a few maintenance issues with the property which will continue to require attention, but this is a rustic property in a rural location and Giovanni & Adzim do their best to address any problems"
